Finished Felicia Mason's "Testimony". Time To Pay Steel's "Ransom!"

I finished off "Testimony" yesterday. Once again, I was shocked that I didn't enjoy this book! However, Felicia Mason tied up the loose ends fairly nicely. Sadly, I can't in good faith recommend this book. The end seemed a little rushed. Roger went to jail after turning himself in for a hit-and-run accident that occurred 12 years before the start of the book. Glenna died, but not before seeing her daughters. Margaret continued to do her "readings," and she got a job at the local college. I am thrilled to be done with this book, and can't wait to check out "Ransom" by Danielle Steel. It's been a while since I read on of her books, ever since the last one I read by her (Toxic Bachelors) left a bad taste in my mouth! I'm hoping that the long hiatus I took will change my point of view. Only time will tell!

Can't Testify About "Testimony". Maybe I'll Pay The "Ransom!"

About 6 or 7 years ago, I read a book entitled "What If God Were The Sun." It was written by that psychic medium John Edwards. The plot was horrible and left me thinking "Why am I reading this?" Sad to say, Felicia Mason's "Testimony" is leaving me with the same question.
It's kind of like "church folk." You have your liars, troubled marriages, drug dealers, and more....all in one choir! How would you react if you found out that not only was your wife not a virgin on your wedding night, but that she was also pregnant at the time??????????? Or maybe you're obsessed with tarot cards and psychic readings! If any of this rings true for you, then Felicia Mason's "Testimony" is something you should read. However, I am not enjoying it entirely and can't wait until I'm finished!!!!!!!!!! Then, I can begin my journey through Danielle Steel's "Ransom."
A violent crime brings together four lives in Danielle Steel’s sixtieth bestselling novel, the story of a mother’s courage, a family’s terror, and a triumph of human strength and dignity in the face of overwhelming odds.

Outside the gates of a California prison, Peter Morgan is released after four long years and vows to redeem himself in the eyes of the young daughters he left behind. Simultaneously, Carl Waters, a convicted murderer, is set on the path of freedom with him. That night, three hundred miles south in San Francisco, police detective Ted Lee comes home to a silent house; for twenty-nine years, he has been living for his job—and slowly falling out of love with his wife. Across town, in an exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood, a mother tries to shield her three children from the panic rising within her. Four months after her husband’s death, Fernanda Barnes faces a mountain of debt she cannot repay, a world destroyed, and a marriage lost.

Within weeks, the lives of these four people will collide in ways none of them could have foreseen. For Fernanda, whose life had once been graced by beautiful homes, security, success, and stunning wealth, the death of her brilliant, brooding husband was already too much to bear. She simply couldn’t imagine a greater loss, until a devastating crime rocks her family to its core—and brings Detective Ted Lee into her life.
A man of unshakable integrity, Lee will soon become the one person who tries to save Fernanda’s family from a terrifying fate. Fernanda must draw on a strength she never knew she had. Racing against time in the underbelly of the criminal world, buffeted by the dark side of power, and unmoored by loss and betrayal, no one can predict where this tragedy will take them.

Honestly, I'm skeptical. I haven't really purchased any of Danielle Steel's novels in the last few years. I think that the last one I bought and read was "Amazing Grace." In my opinion, it wasn't one of Steel's best works, so I steered away from her to discover other authors. I guess it's time to veer my course back in Danielle Steel's direction. Especially after starting off the year 2012 with such a (so far) questionably entertaining book!
